WOW, where do I start?! This place was amazing, absolutely amazing. Better and more than I ever imagined or hoped for when I first stumbled upon its ad on VRBO. I knew I wanted a nice place to escape to in the gorgeous Rocky mountains but what I found was simply a piece of heaven. The owner was quick to respond to my inquiry and so very helpful. And she was a doll to work with. When I arrived I felt welcomed and quite comfortable with my surroundings because of all the great information she provided prior to. While there, I completely relaxed and enjoyed her awesome sound system and collection of music. My favorite, by far, was the CD by Daphne Denniston - Married to the Dashboard. I had never heard her before but hopped on the computer once I got home and bought her music. Very cool stuff! The neighbors/caretakers even came by once to check in on me with a hug & warm cookies in hand! I filled my days with drives while taking pictures along the way, long soaks in the tub with a great book, swings on the hammock and a big, beautiful campfire. I would highly recommend this property to others, already have, though they will be warned not to take "my time" because I will CERTAINLY be back....SOON! Thanks again, Kate, it was AWESOME!

A relaxing stay at a beautiful cabin!

Our family came to St. Regis to attend a family reunion which was being held at a local campground. Since we had to fly in from California, we weren't able to camp so we looked for a place to stay locally. I found Sloway cabin on VRBO and so very glad I did! We were about 3 miles from the campground, so it was very convenient to visit family during the day, and come back to the cabin to relax in the evening. We even stole away a few hours during the afternoon for some peaceful downtime at the cabin. The kids loved playing horseshoes outside and lying in the hammock. The fire pit was great for cooking smores in the evening, complete with a stoked wood pile! My husband and I cooked 50 shredded beef tacos, 30 chicken enchiladas, and a huge bowl of guacamole for the family reunion's Mexican dinner night in the kitchen of the cabin. Plenty of room and all the amenities that anyone would need! We booked a whited water rafting trip with the Pangaea company and loved every minute of it. A very easy raft trip, with class 2 and 3 rapids. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a little adventure! My husband fly fished in the Clark fork river and the kids fished off the bank. It was a little too warm to catch anything, but fun just the same! The cabin is beautiful, and so comfortable, making you feel right at home. We would definitely come back for a Montana vacation at Sloway cabin! Thank you, Kate, for such a wonderful place!

A wonderful cabin in a gorgeous setting

I love to travel, especially to Montana, and I put a lot of research into my trips - so for the most part I'm pretty pleased with my choices. But my favorite thing is seeing the reactions of the rest of the people in my party since they are not the travel-planners that I am, and therefore the itinerary always comes as somewhat of a surprise. This time I was traveling with my boyfriend and sister, all of us currently living in San Diego and plenty weary by the time we flew into Spokane and drove to St. Regis. But when we pulled up at the the Sloway Cabin, I patted myself on the back when their jaws actually dropped. :) The cabin is even better than the pictures and the five acres it sits on seems like more than that with the gravel road and river right across the way. The kitchen and charcoal grill were perfect for cooking and we made some amazing meals while dancing around the house to my sister's infamous "Montana Mix" on her iPod (yes, there's an iPod dock and a CD Player) all night. And in the quiet mornings we loved relaxing on the hammock and just listening the birds. The river across the way is a bit of a brambly walk (wear boots), and don't expect to swim there, but it adds to the privacy and setting. Also, we went white water rafting on the Clark Fork with Pangaea Rafting and it was the best white water experience ever. They are located in Tarkio, about a half hour's drive. Google it and reserve in advance! The town of St. Regis is small, but there are a couple of friendly bars, a small grocery/liquor store (which is where we did all our shopping and it was just fine), and a couple of shops. We explored it all, but mostly just loved coming back to the cabin, opening a bottle of wine and dancing around while the steaks were on the grill. I wish I was still there and I recommend the sloway cabin wholeheartedly.

From the moment we arrived at those magnificent doors with the etched glass of a flyfisherman and trout we knew we had come to somewhere very special. We were not disappointed. This is not a cabin it is a beautiful home full of lovely furniture and personal touches.There is a warm welcoming ambience from the moment you set foot inside.Outside the deck complete with hammock is a great place to relax, enjoy the solitude and admire the view towards the Clark Fork River which is a great place to fish. This is the perfect getaway. We had an unforgettable week in this superb place. Thank you Kate for letting two total strangers from Wales stay in your delightful home.

Our second visit to the Sloway Cabin... and even better than the first! The kids were happy floating the Clark Fork and playing countless games of Uno and the grownups were happy that the kids were happy. (The margaritas didn't hurt!) What a great get-away!!! Everything we needed and then some! :) Can't wait to get back...

We thoroughly enjoyed our "getaway" at the cabin. The facilities were great, comfortable, and friendly. We hiked and were able to see a lot of the surrounding area, some new to us. Thank you so much.

We loved spending time at this peaceful cabin. We rode bikes as a family, barbequed, roasted marshmallows, and relaxed. Our little boys had so much fun exploring in the yard, finding sticks and rocks, etc. The cabin was clean and cozy inside...very well kept. Overall it was a great place to have some R&R as a family!

WOW! Your home is absolutely beautiful and just what we needed for our little getaway. Your love for your cabin is evident in every detail and very welcoming. We knew from the moment we drove up that we had stumbled upon something great! It was too early in the year to head up any of the mountain lake trails, but we had fun exploring the river trail and local antique shops, and ended the day with a fabulous dinner at Quinns Hot Springs. Thank you for opening up your lovely home to strangers.

A great place to experience what Montana is all about! We stayed here for three nights and were so impressed with the accommodations! Nothing was overlooked. It was so nice to be able to vacation where you basically just needed to bring yourself. The cabin literally has everything you would want or need. The location is fantastic and you can go hiking and fishing out your backdoor! Quinn hot springs is also just up the road and was a good time too! If you love the outdoors or are simply looking for a place to kick back and relax then look no further!

Kate, So glad we had the opportunity to meet you in person upon our arrival. We did have a great time at the cabin. You really have a jewel with that property. Everything was convenient and comfortable and we thank you for that... We didn't make it up to Cliff Lake, but were more than content to stay put and relax at the cabin. Even our teenage grandsons were glad to take advantage of the "down time" to just sit or lay around (the hammock was a real hit). Once again, thanks for your hospitality. So glad we found you on VRBO. Till next time, Dianna

We traveled from Guam and we are so glad we chose to spend part of our vacation in the cabin fishing, eating, and visiting. Thanks for making it a great stay!

What a beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting!! We picked the hottest weekend of the summer so far to stay at the cabin and were very comfortable. The ambience is wonderful and the cabin decor is very well suited to log cabin life!! We biked the Hiawatha Trail, then went into St. Regis for a bit of well earned grub after our ride. We are planning a trip during the fall to see all the beautiful colors that Mother Nature has to offer!

Thank you Kate for such a wonderful long weekend at your cabin! We hiked the Cliff Lake trail with the dogs--they loved it! And so did we. We were able to practice techniques we are learning in our photography class, and got to sit in snow on the 1st day of summer. Very refreshing! Thanks.

Wonderful, warm cabin with ALL the amenities. We hiked, sledded and enjoyed the sunny weather. Bryce cooked a wonderful birthday curry. We found a mountain lion cache on a ridge nearby, elk tracks, and bitterroots! We also had a nice dinner and relaxing evening at nearby Quinn's hotsprings. Thank you!

A snow wonderland with the perfect log cabin to warm your toes after a great day at Lookout Ski Area. The accommodations were perfect. Everything was at your fingertips for preparing meals to cuddly blankets. Nice large bathrooms, one up stairs and one on the main level. Great open plan for entertaining friends. I am looking forward to another trip to the Sloway Cabin!

We took the trip to Sloway in late October for an anniversary getaway with another couple. We found the cabin was quite well equipped in every way; Any dish or utensil we needed was not only available but easy to find, beds were comfortable, table was big enough for sprawling card games and split wood was ready for the fire pit. Because of rain we spent most of our time indoors, although we did enjoy a nice walk down to the water and a wonderful camp fire. Now we can't wait to make the trip again in warmer months so we can take advantage of the river and the beautiful setting!

Christmas at the cabin was even better than we had expected. Kate, the festive decorations really made us feel welcome. Thank you so much! You are a truly gracious hostess... even from miles and miles away we felt your presence and were touched by your generosity. We had a great time skiing. Lookout had perfect snow as usual. We had guests for dinner on Christmas Eve and Santas was good to all of us! Mike and I played countless games on Scrabble, read, and listened to music... what a nice disconnect from our normal hectic days. Thank you for what you did to make our stay so special.

Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend to relax and enjoy time with good friends and family. We've enjoyed the view, had a great time barbecuing and playing board games. Although the weather was wet and cold we hardly noticed. I think we were actually glad to have an excuse to stay inside and enjoy the warmth and company. Thank you again.

Left smoke-filled Missoula for a reprieve from the fires to smoke-free Sloway. What a sight to see a cozy little cabin in the woods. A great float followed by a night on the porch telling stories. We slept under the stars. Great float again the next day. May there be many more times together with such great people. Thanks so much for a Montana memory!
